SUMMARY:2-Hr Moving White(ness) Collaboration with Natasha Stovall PhD (ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:“The couch in my therapy office is occupied mostly by white people. Anxious white people and depressed white people. Obsessive white people and compulsive white people. White people who hurt people and white people who hurt themselves. White people who eat too much\, drink too much\, work too much\, shop too much. White people who are bored\, envious\, guilty\, numb. Racist white people and antiracist white people. White people who look across the room and see a white therapist listening. We talk about everything. Except being white.” \n~ Natasha Stovall – Whiteness on the Couch  ~ \n                                                                                                                                              Photo Credit sep–ecxmibgssdm unsplash  \nJoin Somatic educator Liz Koch & clinical Psychologist Natasha Stovall in a 2-hour exploration of our white-ness from both a personal\, social\, physical and even a pandemic perspective. How do we create and live with a newly coherent narrative of ourselves as white bodies and white people? What sort of changes in our selves and in our actions would it take to “live our whiteness” in a new and different\, non-oppressive and less oppressed way?  \nUsing biologically-intelligent movements we will venture into the “frozen” disassociated response within our own core and invite ourselves to dissolve the historically defended rigidity found within the “white-posturing” spine to discover our inner sense of self as living beings.  Through conceptual and embodiment practices we will awaken a different consciousness from the one society has provided us.   \n                                                                                                                                                    \n                                                                                                                                                                   Photo credit-Ines Castellano-unsplash \nAs we begin to dissolve the insistence within the the objectified body we may integrate and participate in a larger conversation of human existence. By creating a multi-layered understanding of our white experience we offer the opportunity to alter the ways cultural whiteness damages our selves\, our fellow human beings\, and life on earth. As we begin imaging reparative ways of being we can create opportunities to generate healing for our world\, our ancestors\, and all future generations. \n  \nNatasha Stovall Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist in private practice working with adults\, adolescents and children. Her essays and cultural criticism have appeared in The New York Times\, Rolling Stone\, and Spin. Her most recent essay\, “Whiteness on the Couch”\, appeared in Longreads in August 2019. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLiz Koch  is an international educator\, author\, and creator of CoreAwareness™ focusing on awareness as key for developing human potential and awakening consciousness. With 40 years experience specializing in the human core\, Liz is recognized in the somatic\, bodywork\, and fitness professions as an authority on the core tissue called Psoas.  Both nationally and internationally published\, her works include The Psoas Book\, Unraveling Scoliosis CD\, Core Awareness; Enhancing Yoga\, Pilates\, Exercise & Dance\, Psoas & Back Pain CD and Mother\, Maiden\, Crone: Our Pleasure Playlist and her new book  Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence published in 2019 by North Atlantic Books. \n

SUMMARY:ONLINE Embodying WiLD Wise Woman A 5-Week Course in Questioning (ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:Embodying The WiLD Wise Woman \nA 5-Week Online Course in Questioning \n                                                                               This is the moment\, this very moment… \nAn invitation to stop tip-toeing around the patriarchal over-culture\, to stop sleepwalking through life\, to stop running from\, or running to\, and to simply p a u s e…. Now is the time to ask the hard questions. To nourish the animal body. To look inward and pick up the key that awakens\nthe WiLD wise woman within you \nNo more waiting for the right moment… the right moment is NOW \nWe are all filled with longing for the wild.  \nThere are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning.  \nWe were taught to feel shame for such a desire. \nWe grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings.  \nBut the shadow of the Wild Woman still lurks beneath us during our days and in our nights. \nNo matter where we are\, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed. \n                                                                                            –Clarissa Pinkola Estés \nThis 5- week course is brewing…as we shape this time together we sense into the aliveness of this moment…the concepts to be explored between three collaborating women and all of you.  This course invites slowing down\, moving within\, and self-questioning as the means of inhabiting the inner Wise Woman. During our work together\, we will examine the various archetypes\, symbols\, motifs\, and life lessons found in the chosen myth Bluebeard to draw a direct line to Wild Woman. As we journey alongside one another\, we will be led through dark lands\, where we too\, will find fragmented parts of our own psyche in order to piece our wild selves back together\, bone by bone.\nLet the explorations begins… \n\nSHRINKING – getting smaller to be the “Bigger Person” (name what you see\, feel\, smell\, hear in the art of discernment). Seeing the story of our own naïve woman and her behavior of fawning\n\nMUZZLING – entrapping the “Good (nice) Girl” (don’t ask questions cause too much trouble; you’ll be nosey\, overwhelming\, pushy) Hearing the story of “still-enabling\,” freezing\, and dismissing – catching a “LIVE” one.\n\nGUTTING – cutting off vital Intuitive Knowing. (the wound of being dis-emboweled). Tasting the wise womb\, learning to listen to our ovaries\, licking our wounds.  Scars stories of C-Sections and Hysterectomies.\n\nNAMING – standing ground\, facing\, longing\, cunning (awakening the animal body). The body never lies…Smelling the blood scent of gut instincts and inner knowing. Stories of igniting the wild womb\, laughing and awaken the creative belly core. \n\nDEVOURING –  feeding and tending the WiLD creative Wise Woman. Movement as medicine and story as tracking. Singing over the bones and other tenacious stories of instinctual power and sweetness. \n\n \nBLUEBEARD tells the tale of sabotage—both from within and from without. It speaks of a predatory force\, known as the Saboteur. This force is in all of us and can make its presence known anywhere\, whether it be in the marketplace\, the local bar\, the classroom\, or in the privacy of one’s own mind. The objects of our desire\, as devised by the Saboteur\, are fool’s gold\, which always proves subversive and destructive. This incredibly powerful force is one we must reckon. \nThere are ways to track the Saboteur\, to discover the key questions that open the doors to knowing.  By discerning approaches\, and discovering our inner resources within the wild body\, we can call into play the forces designed to challenge the Saboteur’s seductive power. In so doing\, we bring the Saboteur out from the shadows of our unawareness and into the light of our better knowing. \nIn a supportive and nurturing environment\, these sessions will explore how the movements within the story and the movements of our bodies work together to provide insight into our life stories and psyches… \nMove from constraint and restriction to expansion in the journey toward knowing \nDeepen your experience with knowing and choice making \nEmbody the capacity to live fully and in your power to prevail against seemingly inevitable habits\, forces\, and conventions \nCOLLABORATORS… \nLiz Koch is a conceptual artist\, international somatic educator\, and the author of Stalking Wild Psoas: Embodying Your Core Intelligence.  \nKristy Taylor M.Ed.\, C.C.C. is a Canadian counselor focusing on insight therapy and the Wise Woman’s journey to embody wholeness. \nDeborah Schnitzer Ph.D\, National 3M Teaching Fellow is a teacher\, writer\, filmmaker and retired professor emerita of English at the University of Winnipeg.  Her fiction and film projects can be found at her personal website https://deborahschnitzer.com \n  \nNOTE: this course is a live course and will not be recorded.  Please check your time zone to see if it works.  If not\, please let us know you are  interested as we will be offering this course again for those of you outside this time range.  \n    KEY ~  Photo credit: Michael Dziedzic Unsplash  \n   FOREST ~  Photo by Johannes Plenio Unsplash \n  \n\n \n\n
